Abstract

Larvae in a sparse population of the gypsy moth are differentially distributed among red and white oak, red maple, gray birch, black cherry, white pine and hemlock. The greatest larval abundance was on red and white oak. Older instars appear first on red oak and may suggest that development was faster on red oak then on white oak. Larvae occurred in low numbers on all other species but increased on some species in the later stages of development. This may be a result of bark flap selection by late ins tars.
